16 ZSCP-EVT-BAD-BUF
16 ZSCP-EVT-BAD-BUF
The SCP process received a system message that it cannot process.
Cause. The SCP process received a system message that it could not process. The SCP 
process code does not include processing of a system message with this message 
number. This message was not anticipated.
Effect. The SCP process calls the ABEND or PROCESS_STOP_ procedure and stops. 
The backup process created the SCP process. It receives system message –101, 
indicating process abnormal deletion. The backup process takes over, becomes the 
primary process, and resumes processing.
If there is no backup process, the file system returns error 201 (nonexistent process) to 
every application that is awaiting a response from the SCP process. The process that 
created the SCP process receives system message –101, indicating process abnormal 
deletion.
Recovery. If there is no backup process, direct command messages to another SCP 
process or hold them until another SCP process is started. If the problem recurs, obtain 
this information (if available) before calling a Compaq representative: the 
SAVEABEND file, the SCF log, the SCP trace file, and the CPU dump.
17 ZSCP-EVT-DEL-SIGNALTIMEOUT-ERR
An SCP call to the Guardian SIGNALTIMEOUT procedure failed.
Cause. An SCP call to the SIGNALTIMEOUT procedure failed. SIGNALTIMEOUT is 
called to set a timer associated with the DELETEDELAY startup parameter, which 
specifies the time interval between the time that the last command message for a 
communications subsystem is forwarded and the time that the SCP process closes the 
communications subsystem.
In some cases, the SCP process initiates a delay (timeout) before stopping so any 
unexecuted command messages can finish. The SCP process passes a time parameter to 
the SIGNALTIMEOUT procedure that indicates the length the delay; the 
SIGNALTIMEOUT procedure then initiates the delay.
